Assumptions Identified

• Market transformation: the new building ecosystem is complex and large, requiring careful assessment of the context at the country-level in terms existing barriers and drivers

• Additionality: Concessional finance may not be required, potentially distorting the market

• Performance Gap: The difference between projected and actual building performance could impact on emission reductions achieved and the reputation of the approach.

Key Messages

• Plan M&E early for best results

• Theory of change are a key tool to help identify what should be monitored and what should be evaluated

• Consider all potential uses when choosing indicators

• Use existing, or look to develop, consistent indicators across programmes

• Integrate M&E throughout a programme, particularly if you want to maximise learning
